Quick Summary
This is a Special Notice from the Department of the Navy (NAVSUP FLC NORFOLK), not a solicitation. The contracting office intends to solicit to only one responsible source for an Edro 60lb. Washer-Extractor for the USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19). This intent is based on urgent requirements and brand-name restrictions, as the existing equipment is damaged and vital for crew health and ship operations in Norfolk, VA.
Purpose & Urgency
The USS Mesa Verde urgently requires a replacement 60lb washer. The current washer is damaged, posing a significant risk to crew health and ship operations, especially with upcoming availability and potential disaster response missions. Maintaining efficient laundry service is critical for sanitary conditions and mission readiness, as highlighted by NAVEDTRA 14314B.
Key Requirements
The requirement is for one (1) EDRO Washer-Extractor, model EX60NSWE-24B. This appliance must be a direct replacement, compatible in form, fit, and function with existing shipboard systems, and meet habitability specifications authorized by the Laundry Equipment ISEA. A habitability waiver has been received for installation on LPD-17 class hulls.
Contract Details
- Opportunity Type: Special Notice (Intent to Sole Source)
- Product Service Code: 3510 (Laundry And Dry Cleaning Equipment)
- Set-Aside: Not Applicable (Brand-Name Sole Source Justification)
- Delivery: Required Delivery Date (RDD) is 90 days After Receipt of Order (ARO). The estimated price includes an expedited fee to meet this lead time, as direct manufacturer lead time is typically 500 days.
- Justification: Competition is precluded per FAR 12.102(a) because Edro Corporation is identified as the only authorized manufacturer for laundry equipment onboard LPD17 class hulls.
Response & Deadlines
This is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties who believe they can meet the urgent, brand-name specific requirements for an EDRO EX60NSWE-24B washer-extractor should contact the contracting officer by June 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM EDT.
